Abstract

Scrotal pathologies are frequently seen in pediatric population. There are plenty of diseases that can be seen with similar clinical findings. These are generally benign lesions that can be diagnosed by simple physical examination and radiological techniques. Most of the clinicians are familiar with these diseases and are able to manage them. The problematic diseases of scrotum are testicular masses. They are seen rarely, but when they are diagnosed, they cause anxiety in both family and clinician. This may cause overtreatment of these diseases, as it is proposed to be in adult patients. However, these tumors have different characteristics in pediatric population. They also differ between prepubertal and postpubertal pediatric patients. Like histopathological properties, malignancy potentials of testis tumors are different in prepubertal ages. Benign tumors are much more frequent in pediatric group. This gives the clinician an opportunity for conservative treatment. Testis sparing surgery which is performed rarely for adult testis tumors, can be very efficient for prepubertal patients. According to oncologic principles, conservative surgery must be performed only for absolutely indicated patients. For this reason, clinicians must have the idea how to differentiate benign and malign testicular masses. In this review, we summarized the most common testicular pathologies in children, and tried to point out the principles of evaluating, differentiating and treating benign and malignant testicular masses of pediatric age group.

Özet

Pediatrik hasta popülasyonunda skrotal patolojilere sık olarak rastlanmaktadır. Benzer klinik bulguları gösteren çok sayıda hastalık mevcuttur. Bunlar basit fizik muayene ve radyolojik tekniklerle tanı konabilen genellikle benign lezyonlardır. Klinisyenlerin çoğu bu hastalıklara alışkandır ve kolaylıkla tedavi edebilir. Skrotumun problemli hastalıkları testiküler kitlelerdir. Ender görülmekle birlikte, tanı konduklarında hem ailede hem de hekimde anksiyeteye neden olurlar. Bu durum, yetişkin hastalardaki yaklaşıma benzer olacak şekilde aşırı tedaviye neden olur. Ancak bu tümörler pediatrik popülasyonda farklı karaktere sahiptir. Ayrıca prepubertal ve postpubertal pediatrik hastalarda da farklılık göstermektedir. Testis tümörlerinin histopatolojik özellikleri yanında malignansi potansiyeli de prepubertal dönemde farklıdır. Pediatrik dönemde benign tümörler daha sıktır. Bu durum hekime daha konservatif tedavi uygulayabilme imkanı vermektedir. Yetişkin hastalarda ender olarak uygulanan testis koruyucu cerrahi prepubertal hastalarda çok tetkili olabilir. Onkolojik prensiplere göre koruyucu cerrahi, kesin endikasyonu olan hastalarda uygulanmalıdır. Bu nedenle klinisyen benign ve malign testis kitlelerinin ayrımına yönelik bilgi sahibi olmalıdır. Bu derlemede çocukluk çağındaki en sık testis patolojilerini özetleyerek, ve benign ve malign testis kitlelerinin değerlendirilmesi, ayırıcı tanısı ve tedavisi için temel prensipleri vurguladık.
